From today until December 9th, two trucks will roam the streets of Lebanon, playing a message about sexual harassment, “Catcalls are not acceptable words to say,” and “The word is sexual harassment, fight back.”
This creative idea comes from the feminist collective Nasawiya as part of their The Adventures of Salwa Campaign. Salwa is a cartoon character who whacks street harassers and sexual harassers with her red purse.
You can read the Adventures of Salwa guide for fighting sexual harassment and watch all of the videos online.
I think it’s time for Salwa to get an American cousin who fights sexual harassment in the USA too…!!
